Cinnameg said:I am concerned that starting a relationship while being in medical school will not be possible. I would strongly prefer to date a current or future doctor . . . or at least a career-oriented, academic person. I worry that 1) all of the guys in my medical school will be taken, or 2) all of the guys in my medical school will be looking for women who aren't going to be doctors, but instead want to be mothers and caretakers, or 3) the competition for the few remaining single males will be too intense, or 4) I will be too old for the single guys in medical school because I'm 24 instead of the usual 22, or 5) I just won't be able to find time to get pretty and go out looking for men outside of medical school . . . at least not in non-seedy places.
Hey Cinnameg. First of all congratulations on being the part of the OHSU class of 3010. You will be 28 before you know it .
Of course I don't know much about u, but if I had to guess, you are an ambitious person and you like stuff planned out (damn, I am insightful).
May be I don't hear girl-thoughts too often, but yours are pretty interesting, although they kinda make me feel like a male in more of an animal context, like where one has to compete for a mate (birds with colorful tails come to mind for some reason). I understand where you are coming from since there is no denying that the pool is shrinking. Rapidly. You may or may not relate, but I feel that the diminishing pool is due to lack of common interests and understanding, people getting married, people getting uglier, etc... right? I am just having hard time reconciling that thought with my old school mentality of the need to find a person that you truly love, a woman that would make you feel like the rest of your life is a holiday just because she is with you.
Anyways, a question for everyone. Given that you are attracted to the person based on looks, what are the top 3-5 qualities/characteristics that are most important to you?
